If you were to have freemcboot you can play NTSC but you would have to make a copy and your TV have to support ntsc signal.
Maybe you could launch it directly from the disc but id have to try it I will later.

Free mcboot would do the job for you. I'm in the UK and would be willing to install free mcboot for you at no charge other then the postage.

Let me know if you're interested

Thanks. I'm definitely considering it at the moment. Is there any guide that shows how to play region free with FreeMcBoot?

You just need a disk loader program on the memory card, it allows you to play backups and different region disks by disabling the security check. Then all you need to do is just click on the icon and boot up the game, simples
